As at Tilty and in Gloucestershire, the intention with the Baron Barn in rural southern Sweden was to repurpose elements of the existing farm buildings for domestic use. In this instance the design took other directions. While none of the original structures survive in the finished house, the four wings of accommodation occupy the cleared footprint of the old and agricultural precedents are reworked in both the form and materiality of the new architecture.
